About MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 Crimp Connectors
MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 crimp connectors combine high-performance reliability for military and industrial interconnect applications. The series features heavy-duty connectors with crimp contacts and bayonet or “quick-disconnect” coupling.
MIL-DTL-26482 features bayonet “quick-disconnect” coupling, making connecting and disconnecting quick and easy!
MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 crimp connectors are rated to IP67. Environmental sealing is achieved with a grommet and clamp design. Operating temperature for the connectors is from –55° to +125°C. Operating voltage is 1,000 VAC (RMS) at sea level.
The series offers pin and socket crimp contacts that are machined from low-loss copper alloy and are gold plated to eliminate contact corrosion and provide an indefinite shelf life. All connectors have resilient inserts that provide high dielectric strength and a good moisture barrier. A variety of shell finishes (including non-cadmium) and a variety of accessories are available to ensure interconnect reliability.
Basic Characteristics of the MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1

MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 Connector Shell Styles
MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 crimp connectors are IP67 rated for applications in harsh environments. Aerospace-grade aluminum shells provide heavy-duty protection while a standard olive drab cadmium finish provides excellent corrosion resistance. Alternate finishes (including RoHS) are available.
Select your preferred shell style from the list below:
MS3126
Straight Plug
The MS3126 plug is compatible with all MIL-DTL-26482 Series 1 receptacles. Backshells are available to meet a variety of service class requirements. Always use a protective cover when plug is disconnected to protect contacts from environmental contaminants and impact.
MS3120
Wall Mount Receptacle
The MS3120 wall mount receptacle has a standard four-hole flange for mounting on the front or rear of a panel. A protective backshell is recommended if the connector is subjected to environmental hazards. A cover should be used to protect the contacts from damage.
MS3122
Box Mount Receptacle
The MS3122 box mount receptacle offers a low-profile rear design without accessory threads, permitting it to be mounted in confined spaces. A gasket is recommended to seal the mounting location. A cover should be used to protect contacts when the connector is not in use.
MS3124
Jam Nut Receptacle
The MS3124 jam nut receptacle provides increased environmental protection due to its single mounting hole design. An integrated silicone O-ring offers additional sealing. A protective backshell is recommended if the connector is subjected to environmental hazards. A cover should be used to protect the contacts from damage.
MS3121
Cable Mount Receptacle
MS3121 in-line or cable mount receptacles are used for extension cord applications. A reduced flange with rounded corners protects the connector from impact when the attached cable is dragged or dropped. A protective backshell is recommended if the connector is subjected to environmental hazards. A cover should be used to protect the contacts from damage.
MS3127
Wide Flange Box Mount Receptacle
The MS3127 box mount receptacle offers a wide flange for secure back-panel mounting, in addition to a low-profile rear end without accessory threads, permitting it to be mounted in confined or limited access spaces. A gasket is recommended to seal the mounting location. A cover should be used to protect contacts when the connector is not in use.
MS3128
Wide Flange Wall Mount Receptacle
The MS3128 wall mount receptacle provides a wide flange for back-panel mounting, along with rear accessory threads for mounting accessories. A gasket is recommended to seal the mounting location. A cover should be used to protect contacts when the connector is not in use.
MIL-DTL-26482 Accessories
Protective Covers
MIL-26482 dust covers should always be used to environmentally seal connectors and protect them from damage. They not only protect contacts from dirt and corrosion, but they also keep the coupling threads clean and ready for use.
Mounting Brackets
Mounting brackets for MIL-5015 connectors feature captive stainless steel lock nuts to ensure reliable mounting for critical applications. Optional sealing screws with O-rings will seal the mounting holes on your enclosure from water ingress.
Stowage Receptacle
Dummy receptacles are designed to prevent operator injury and connector damage by providing a safe place to stow and organize unused cables. They are for use with all MIL-26482 plugs. Solid flange stowage receptacles are available when full environmental sealing is required.
MIL-DTL-26482 Tools
MIL-26482 Solder Station
The use of a professional soldering station is the first step to ensuring connector reliability. This solder station kit provides a complete solution for terminating mil-spec style solder contacts to stranded or solid core wire. Compatible for all MIL-26482 Series 1 connectors.
